Power Protection + Distribution
Branch Circuits
Advanced power protection at the service panel
Have you ever wanted complete surge elimination and power conditioning at
the branch circuit level, eliminating the need for additional protection
downstream? We have the solution.
Features:
The SurgeX Branch Circuit product line provides guaranteed surge elimination
and conditioning for audio, video, and mission critical equipment at the
service panel. Available in three configurations, our unique solutions are built
with professional-grade NEMA magnetic shielding steel enclosures that meet
code for use at the service entrance, sub-panels, and in-ceiling plenums.
• Impedance Tolerant® EMI/RFI filtering
• NEMA rated magnetic shielding steel enclosure
• Advanced Series Mode® surge elimination
• SurgeX ICE® (Inrush Current Elimination)
(SX-20NE-RT)
• Remote turn-on (SX-20NE-RT)
• Self-circuit with visual indicator (SX-20NE-RT)
They are engineered with Advanced Series Mode surge elimination and power
conditioning technologies to provide top-of-the-line protection. Superior to
conventional MOV circuitry or MOV-hybrid designs, they completely eliminate
surge energy up to 6,000 Volts without producing harmful side effects such as
ground contamination or common-mode disturbances. Completely
non-sacrificial and never needing reset, they provide the most reliable
protection available.
Our branch circuit line also features both common mode and normal mode
impedance tolerant EMI/RFI filtering, and SurgeX ICE (Inrush Current
Elimination) for a complete power conditioning solution.
